A kitchen can be dramatically transformed without spending a lot of money. The upgrading of a plain-but-boring island by refacing it with cherry paneling and carvings can transform the entire kitchen, as did this island refacing project for the Ferraro family in Sewickley Farms, Cranberry Township, PA. This photo shows the kitchen as seen when entering from the front foyer. The island, stained to match the existing cabinets has become the "centerpiece" of the kitchen. For a similar kitchen island refacing project, see the Baldini Kitchen Island.
